20. Through the motions

After reviewing with Sawyer for an hour, Fizzy rushes into my room in shorts and cleats.

"We have to go, Lou." She tells me, sighing.

"I'm coming, I'm coming." I say, standing up and putting away my notes from Geometry. "Go get your sisters, and get in my car. All in the back. I have to take Sawyer home." I told her, and she nodded, leaving.

"Is it okay if I take her to practice before I drop you off?" I ask Sawyer, and she nods.

*Sawyer's point of view*

I followed him out to his Range Rover, and get in the front seat.

"Who are you?" One of the little girls asks me.

"This is my friend from school, Sawyer." Louis tells her.

Yeah, friend. Something like that.

"Hi, Sawyer." The oldest one says.

"Hi there," I say, and she cocks her head to the side.

"Why do you sound like that?" The one who played soccer asks.

"I'm from America." I say, and she nods.

"Can you say 'tidy'?" Another one asks me.

"Hey now. Quit. You can't just ask people to say words." Louis say to her, and she frowns.

"But she sounds different!" She cries, and I smile a little. I love little girls, they are so cute.
